24. If they want to brag, they should brag that they understand and know me.They should brag that I, the Lord, act out of love, righteousness,and justice on the earth.This kind of bragging pleases me, declares the Lord.
25. “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,“when I will punish all who are circumcised.
26. I will punish Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, and Moab.I will punish all who shave the hair on their foreheadsor live in the desert.Even though these nations are circumcised,all Israel has uncircumcised hearts.”
